The administrator can reset any BUI password through the user management
BUI. One administrator can also reset another administrator's password.
When an administrator forget's their BUI password, and there is no other
administrator, the password can be reset from the CLI by entering the
following command:
PAdmin/ABreset (or abbreviated pa/ab)
The system resets all administrator passwords, if more than one exist.
When system passwords are forgotten (that is, Telnet, FTP, and CLI first
level), the passwords can be viewed from the second level of the CLI.
When the second level CLI password is forgotten, perform the following steps.
a Connect a CRT (or terminal emulation on a PC) directly to the back of the
card's serial port.
b Perform a manual power-up as follows:
i Pull the card out of the slot.
ii Plug the card back into the shelf.
The MICB starts the power-up process.
